No is 613 013/4 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Matt' Track Labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels on BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVENT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl to BOTH records is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, only 1 MEGA light hairline trace (only visible under EXTREME light on 1 side ONLY!), only 1 light scuffline (NON sounding - and on 1 side ONLY!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  It is great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The records MUST grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  WHAT A BRILLIANT SET OF RECORDS!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!  Brillant!!!!  The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Matching' inner sleeves (BOTH are '1969' date coded!) which are in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press NUMBERED Booklet (see picture) is in BRILLIANT condition with NO rips, NO tears, only a few VERY faint 'age traces' to the white coloured outside, NO writing, NO grubbyness, NO splits, only some VERY minor 'ruffling', NO loose pages, and a PERFECTLY printed number ('50456')!!!!  A BRILLIANT CONDITIONED BOOKLET!!!!  The 'Earliest' 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Triple Gatefold Laminated 'Patents Pending' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), VERY shiny laminate, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), and NO writing!!!!  The corner tips on this cover also look to have been 'touched in' at some point in the past - though this has been INCREDIBLY well done and is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to notice!!!!  The opening edges & fold-out edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AS A 100% GENIUNE 1969 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING, AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND 100% COMPLETE (ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
